In an existing home, we’re not always sure how the foundation perimeter was completed because it is not visual, unless of course we begin digging. Uhg! Acquiring the “as built” plans of your home from the town is always a good idea and are usually readily available from your town office. The "as built" plans will show what the builder ultimately completed on your property, most times. Either way, if you have water in your basement, digging around a foundation, an expensive undertaking (and backbreaking) is not necessarily a required first step to try to solve the problem.
